..Numerous studies have shown that the zebrafish is an excellent model for vertebrate lipid metabolism. In this chapter, we review studies that employ zebrafish to better understand lipid signaling and metabolism...

..Biol. Chem. 269, 18239-18249). By using a quenched BODIPY-labeled phosphatidylcholine that fluoresces only upon cleavage by PLA2, lipase activity was visualized in the cells of living embryos where it localized to perinuclear membranes...

..The potential to identify new genes, or novel functions of known genes that regulate dietary lipid metabolism, or the generation of lipid signaling molecules, may lead to the development of treatment strategies for common human diseases...

Germ cell migration in zebrafish is dependent on HMGCoA reductase activity and prenylation

..Pharmacological treatment of mice with ezetimibe disrupts the heterocomplex in only hypercholesterolemic animals. These data suggest that ANX2 and CAV1 are components of an intestinal sterol transport complex...
